The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families. --------------------------- Das Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) findet Regionen mit lokaler Ähnlichkeit zwischen Sequenzen. Das Programm vergleicht Nukleotid- oder Proteinsequenzen mit Sequenzdatenbanken und berechnet die statistische Signifikanz von Übereinstimmungen. BLAST kann verwendet werden, um funktionale und evolutionäre Beziehungen zwischen Sequenzen abzuleiten sowie Mitglieder von Genfamilien zu identifizieren. |
